The best lens colours for cyclists Amber and rose lens tints increase visual acuity and are highly recommended for cycling. They provide the brightest field of vision and are ideal for weak to no sunlight. Thanks to their strength in colour contrast, these tints are particularly recommended when cycling on roads. By improving your reaction times, they help improve your sporting performance and your safety. When there is little or no sunlight, it is more important than ever to have tints that enable you to recognise even the smallest details quickly and clearly. When choosing a tint for cycling, make sure not to select too dark a variant because you will be switching from very sunny stretches to shaded areas very quickly – under trees or bridges and tunnels, for example. We would advise cyclists against self-tinting lenses because, despite the excellent performance characteristics of modern self-tinting lenses, they still clear too slowly for the conditions you will be using them in.——zeiss
